The resistor is in series from a 5 vdc source. The pod takes alternatively about 50 ma from 9 to 15 vdc. So I would think any resistor from 6.8 to maybe up to 10.

In the future, hope very near, I am interested to buy also a k-pod. I read the k-pod manual and I seen that to power the k-pod directly from the data Port there is a modification to apply. My k3s is serial number 10511 so is one of those that needs the mod. I thought to do the mod this Saturday, to open the k3s only one time but I can't find a 6.8 ohm resistor in my rubbish. Is it necessary absolutely a 6.8 ohm or is possible to use other value more diffuse? Maybe a value near to 6.8 ohm or other combination? What exactly does this mod ? Any help, please ? Thanks a lot in advance , best regards, Graziano iw2noy ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to c-haw...@illinois.edu ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
